This little girlie is Bug!! She is the fifth Syrian I have had (RIP Daisy, Poe, Bean &Boots <3 ). Bug was rescued along with her sister (unknown if any other siblings were rescued) and I would assume her mom by a private small animal shelter from an animal hoarder when she was just a week or so old. From that point, they were all taken into foster care where they were very well taken care of. I was surprised how tame she was already (considering she was still quite young and younger hamsters tend to get frightened more easily). Bug is just sososo sweet, extremely friendly, and can be pretty entertaining to watch, as most hamsters are. She is very healthy, apart from the mites scare- as you can see in my last post. Haha thankfully it was just irritation from the aspen bedding I had her on, and once I switched that out, all is well!
Hopefully I won't have to be asking any more scary questions, but I do look forward to helping those of you less experienced with Syrians and asking for input when I am not sure of the best thing to do!
